Today I was mocking up the front fenders and running board aprons to the frame to take to the body shop. I also put the radiator shell on the radiator in order to install the hood. What keeps the bottom of the radiator shell from contacting and scratching the front fender?

There should be a very small gap at the bottom of the shell where it meets the fenders.
Nothing goes in between
It's so tight in that area i use tape to protect when assembling a freshly painted car3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

there should be a rubber pad between each lower rad. mounting tab and the frame.
I remember having to double up on these pads to get the shell to not rub. As stated, the fit is very tight and the tape idea is essential. We actually use tape (the non-stick green or blue stuff that the body guys use) all over the place when we are assembling painted partsComment
